sick

Can anyone help me or give me some advice? My 5 year old Jumbo Pekin came out of the coop she shares with her 3 year old sister this morning unable to walk or balance herself and outstretching her wings to guide her back down to the ground to sit. She has been quacking and responsive, eating and...

Hi there, I'm definitely needing some help from anyone and everyone right now. I'm very concerned over my 5 year old Jumbo Pekin Cracker, as she came out of the coop this morning with her 3 year old sister and has been acting very weird. She's had a little limp for a bit now but today it seems...

I need help ASAP. I have this 1-2 year old silkie and she has been fine until now. This morning she was her usual active self, eating, drinking everything. I came back from school and I find her isolated and in position to lay, which isn't odd since she's a hen. But she stood up and pooped this...

Pulled one of my girls out to isolated her she was getting bullied. She was scared and shaking and skinny. She’s been in the garage in a dog crate for a few days now and I’m trying to get her to eat. Filed her beak down a bit and seems to be better eating now but has been pooping white liquid...

Hi everyone. I have a vet appointment on Wednesday and I have the option to give two of my hens that have issues a Suprelorin implant. My EE (3 years) that was previously egg bound with a bursted shell less egg. She has been very active and acting very healthy, however still has watery poo...

My 6 week old WBT has been sick for a few days now. I have been trying to get her back on her feet and she is very resilient. Today when I let the birds out she was on her side, she lifted her head shakily and looked at me. I got her picked up and she stood in a corner. Her wings are droopy...

The wound is located on the back of her head, she has another smaller injury near the side of her face. I believe the cause was my older turkey hen. The wound itself is small, but it does seem pretty deep. I cant tell if it's bad or not since I don't have experience with these injuries. The...

We have a frizzle who’s around 10 months old and she has a huge bald spot, her wings are made of pins not feathers, and she has wounds all over. no evidence of being picked at by others (we have cameras). what should we do to help her? 2 of our others have small bald spots so we’re thinking of...

Hey all!! I made a post a little while back about my hen having worms. We treated for worms and she seemed to be getting better!! We did the dose each day for 5 days and then we did one more at the 14 day mark just to make sure we got everything. Worms were never present in poo. Now she is...

Some silkies hatched yesterday and one more hatched today. He seemed to be doing fine just weaker than the others when he first hatched. Then we realized the other chicks were picking at him to the point of dragging him. We put the chicks in a brooder and put this one back in the incubator. We...

on friday i set up a brand new 20 gallon tank, let it sit with water conditioner. set up a water filter and tank heater (80° F) with thermometer. Saturday i bought three molly fish, three ghost shrimp, three algae eaters and three ADF (african dwarf frog). i set up gravel, some live plants and...

I noticed she was lethargic and had a penguin stance. When I picked her up I immediately saw clear egg yolk-mucus goop out of her vent, which looked enlarged. She was quickly declining so I soaked her in epsom salt and tried to feel around for an egg with a lubricated gloved finger. I couldn't...

Hello everyone, I could use some guidance/advice. I have one hen, about 9 months old, that isn’t doing great. A few weeks ago, I noticed her one eye was super swollen/crusty and looked severely infected. She also had diarrhea. I took her to the vet, they prescribed an antibiotic, an...

Today I came home to my turkey hen sitting in the nesting box, motionless, her face smooshed up to the corner of the wall (I couldn’t even see her head), legs splayed out abnormally. She looked dead. I called for my husband. We cautiously approached the motionless bird. Then she blinked and we...

I had gotten 4, 4 week old amerecaunas from a friend. They were in a separate cage in the coop for 3 weeks but my flock was able to stick their heads in and try and peck their food. I realize now that was a mistake and will properly quarantine from here on out. However, I have a serious issue...

I need everyone’s advice. Brought home some turkey poults not even a week old. One of them started doing like a gag motion and really weak. Won’t eat. Sounds stuffy when it breathes. It died. Now a few days later another one is getting symptoms. Doesn’t sound stuffy but it keeps closing its eyes...

Hi everyone, I’m currently really stressed out regarding one of my chickens. I’ve never had any issues with her. She is currently going on 5 years old. For the last two days I noticed she was lethargic and I continued to monitor her. Until this morning, I noticed she had been sitting alone...

I believe my chickens have Mycroplasma due to infected birds coming into my flock of three. i managed to keep on top of it with antibiotics whenever some showed symptoms. Sadly I lost one as she went off her legs probably last year. One of my remaining two who often has bouts but is quickly...

I have a 3 year old buff Orpington that we noticed had been a very swollen abdomen around the date of the 15th of March. Thinking she was possibly egg bound, we gave her an epsom salt bath but no change the next couple days. I then looked into the symptoms of water-belly. We ended up draining...

I have a chick that is a little over two weeks old that isn’t doing too well! She was fine yesterday, I noticed she wasn’t very perky this morning, and she is droopy and puffy this evening. I knew something was really wrong when she didn’t eat her scrambled eggs 😭 I garden A LOT so I wouldn’t be...
